Games and Activities, Volume 1, Part A: Drama; Levels A-B (Grades 1 and 2).

Developed by the Oregon Elementary English Project, this curriculum unit contains drama activities intended for grades one and two. The activities are not ordered in a definite sequence; rather they are meant to be used as the opportunity arises. The activities are divided into (1) exercises based on puppetry, including a puppet hunt, the making of puppets, and puppet plays; (2) selected individual lessons using body movement to express thought and character and to focus student attention on a specific idea, such as happiness or trouble; and (3) short activities intended for one- to five-minute interludes. The short activities focus on holidays and seasons, senses, animals, play, make-believe, and miscellaneous. (HOD)
